Made the call, VPI Prime

Took so long to decide, but at last I ordered the Prime with a Cadenza Blue cart. I'm enthusiastic about the table, hopeful about the cartridge. My cart options were narrowed by the 58db phono stage of my ARC SP20 preamp, but considering how long I took to choose, maybe it's good I didn't have a wider range of options.

When I assembled this system (ProAc and Audio Research) last year I intended an analog-friendly synergy. My hope now is the reported analytical coolness of Cadenza Blue balances well with all the tubes.

I heard several VPI decks with Soundsmith carts at John Fort in Dallas. A sweet pairing. Soundsmith is definitely on my list down the road. Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm eager to get it spinning.

I forgot to order a cover, I realized a moment ago. Cats in here make it mandatory. Have to call Seth first thing.

Thanks, all. I'm jazzed.

oleschool, I believe it! I spend a lot of time staring at the audio rack thinking how I'll keep the furballs away from my table and cartridge.
